Answer

If you've never camped at all:
I've never been camping. (Good)
I've never gone camping. (Good, similar)
I've never camped. (OK, less common)
If you've never camped at a certain place:
I've never camped at the Grand Canyon. (Good. I go camping but I've never camped there, or I've been there but I've never camped there)

Answer

To me
'I've never camped before.' DOES NOT sound more natural than "I have never been camping".
Quite the opposite. Might be a regional difference.

Answer

'I've never camped before.' sounds more natural than "I have never been camping".

Answer

Hi 周秋心，
You should say "I camped in the mountains....
Or "We went to Mount ..." If you stay overnight it's assumed you camped there.
"I've never been camping" is good if you haven't been camping before.
"I've never been to..." is used if you haven't been to a campsite.
"I've never camped at..." is seldom used.
